Quick Test Professional (QTP) - OptionalStep Object

This is used to make a statement optional in situations where a statement might fail. Consider the below statement:

'Click Yes on the security warning dialog box
Browser("Browser").Dialog("Security Warning").WinButton("Yes").Click

This statement could have been recorded where a security warnings were enabled, but then run on another PC who's browser does not have those warning enabled-in that scenario the statement will fail. So when a statement depends on a system state, it should be maed optional using the OptionalStep object:

'Click Yes on the security warning dialog box
'In case the step fails proceed to nect step without failing the status in the test result summary
OptionalStep.Browser("Browser").Dialog("Security Warning").WinButton("Yes").Click
